McENERY, OR NICHOLS.

some OF the State press object to
both Nichells and McEnery as candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomination
because, as they say, they are both sup
ported by factions, that tend to divide
the party. The Democratic party in
this State is practically without opposi-
ton ; and in the very nature of things
there must be opposition somewhere.
The good things of this life, and es-
pecially political offices, do not go by
default. AS the party has no outside
opposition, there must be opposition in
the party. 1t is but natural that dtfert
persons should strive to obtain the
nominations made by the conventions;
and to obtain them, or develop chance
of obtaining them, they have to organ
lze their forces, and endeavor to win
the support of the people in the prima-
ries. In the political language of the
day, these divisions in a party are
called factions. Those who object to
both Nichols and McEnery, and want
Moncure or some other person, are al
much, for in number they are appa-
rently so inconsiderable as not to con-
stitute faction. But this gubernato-
rial contest has surely narrowed down
to Nichols and McEnery. There is no
doubt but that the great majority of
Democratic voters are in favor of Mich
oils. Those who say they are opposed
to McEnery absolutely, but object to
Nichols because the McEnery people
cannot endure him, should not deceive
themselves-they would be as bitter
agalnstany other man in Nichols place;
they are bitter against Nichols, be-
cause they fear his strength with the
people. There is absolutely but one
way to have harmony with the Nc
Emery people, and that is, to go in with
them and support their candidate for
the nomination. Those who object to
McEnery because Of his acts as Cover
nor, and on account of the character of
some OF his political friends, cannot
have the same causes of objection
against Nichols; his popularity and
the esteem in which he is held by all,
were gained by his acts as Governor.
There is surely good reason for trying
him again. That he was a good Cover
nor before, is an earnest that he will
be so again. He did not antagonize
my but the professional politicians,
who get rich on the taxes paid by the I
people, and they are his only enemies
low. In supporting Nichols, the peo-
Die will be defending themselves i,
against this pestlferous class MeEnery +
las had the office long enough, and he s
hoald have another successor besXles {
himself. But, unless the McEnery fac
ion substitute another member for /
i'm by nomination day, everyone will |
ave to be for him or Nichols; those Z
rho stand back und wait for the nomi- -
alton before they declare themselves,
7ill not be much regarded. Support b
fter nomination, amounts to nothing =
] State where the nominee has no
pposition. This eleventh hour service
lay do in spiritual matters, but not in
olitics. If the McEnery faction have ;,
upon him as their candi- n
ate, everybody should be for him or f;
icholls, and that right off.
